- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Dodge County, Georgia. In the heart of central Georgia's wiregrass region, Dodge County stretches 500 square miles from the Oconee River to the Ocmulgee River. The state legislature established Dodge County in 1870, forming it from parts of Montgomery, Pulaski, and Telfair counties. In 1872 and 1875, parts of Dodge County were shifted back into Telfair County. Dodge County was named for William Earle Dodge of New York, cofounder of one of the world's largest mining and metals companies, and owner of significant timberlands in central Georgia.
